'Norman Wisdom - Heroes of Comedy' is a documentary about his success as a British comedian. From watching this I have learned that Norman often used experiences from his childhood to influence him. He often portrayed characters that saw himself as equal to others, despite being lower class. 
"He was the master of falling over. He was brilliant at it. He did it with such style, one minute he'd be standing, then he'd be on the floor!"
Elaine Page
"He was the most popular film star in this country. I remember going to see a film of his, I got to the cinema and they were lined up, right round the block of the while cinema. There must have been about five or six hundred, maybe even more than that, people lined up to see his latest film."Bruce Forsyth
"That was the wonderful thing about him, that he could be right at the bottom of the social pile and he simple didn't recognise this. [he'd say] I'm as good as you lot!"
Hugh Stewart
